I experiment like that also. Now I understand.

Like I said in my first post, if your machines are doing other things, especially with HD's, I see why you would want to use a JFS. I guess I don't completely understand why you need a JFFS for something that under normal circumstances, isn't written to physically. If you have a crash/powerdown situation, with resumtion of service, you just reload your image and continue to firewall/route. Would the JFFS be in play to preserve the logs? If so, wouldn't it be easier/safer/more secure to forward them to an internal syslog server? Again, I am not trying to critique, more just trying to understand why. Hell, if you saw some of the crap I implement just to try it, you'd think I _like_ frustration and extra work :-) Later, Tony _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
